Tony Stark’s origin story in Iron Man stays close to the comics. It is based on Tales of Suspense #39 from 1963. The movie shows him being captured, injured, and forced to build weapons for his captors. The location was updated from Vietnam to Afghanistan to fit modern times, but the core events remain the same. Tony builds the first Iron Man suit in a cave and escapes. This moment shows his intelligence and sets up his transformation from a selfish billionaire to a hero. It also marks the beginning of his mission to use technology for good. The adaptation sticks to the comic’s foundation while adding details that make the story more grounded and relevant.
